Abstract

Massive X-ray binary pulsars have often evolved early-type companion stars which emanate strong stellar winds. X-rays emitted from the accreting neutron star irradiate and ionize the surrounding stellar wind, thus forrriing a photoionized sphere surrounding the neutron star. The photoionization structure of matter surrounding the neutron star was calculated by Hatchett and McCray (1977) and McCray et al. (1984), for Cen X-3 and Vela X-l respectively.
